Episode Synopsis

The tables are turned for the first episode of series 9 - host Penny Wincer is being interviewed by author Caro Giles about her new book Home Matters. We talk about what draws Penny to write about home, digging beneath the surface of homes to find meaning behind the choices we make and how objects become portraits and tell stories about our lives and identities. We also talk about weaving memoir and non-fiction together, making choices about the personal and political aspects of the book and the challenges of writing and publishing a book that doesn't fit neatly into categories.LinksHome Matters - Penny WincerTwelve Moons - Caro GilesAll The Houses I've Ever Lived In - Kieran YatesThe Lonely City - Olivia LaingMonkey Grip - Helen GarnerPenny on Substack pennywincer.substack.comCaro on Substack carogiles.substack.com
